Ouch. I guess it’s gotta hurt to get singled out like that. That’s why I’ve found a very comfortable spot on Technorati… I’m Rank #731,678 with an authority of a whopping 11. Oh well.
I have no chance to come in this list, because I’m a member of the germen support team and so *all of my links* come from the blogroll,
and yes
if someone is a best plugin author, spend his knowledge and his time to help others he is not the best blogger…
he is ***only*** a blogger who creates his links from plugins
this is not a quality check of “social” networking..
if you write a good article about Paris - you know the 26 year old girl— you are a good blogger…
***************
this is the “ethical” benchmark from “social” networks…
My old http://blogs.linux.ie/xeer/ blog has a ranking of 1 too AFAIR and is banned. http://inphotos.org/ is banned as well, but it was sweet seeing it rise on the top 100 page before they realised!
Hmmmm… This makes you re-think about linking. It seems a little overt. I guess there are some that take the linking into new realms. I love reading your posts. They’re fast reads and straight to the point.
Current score: 0+1

May I ask who really cares if you make the top 100 of anything? Grow up folks.
That’s what I hate about blogging: the slavish worship of rankings. Thanks for just reinforcing my feeling.
I know you’ve been walking around weeping openly about being banned from Technorati, and I’m really sorry for your loss.
My theory is that it actually happened in retaliation for removing the link to Technorati results in the WordPress dashboard in lieu of Google results.

So what? I believe that Technorati is not a measure of popularity and success! Matt deserves to be in the 100, but thats how Technorati works
John’s theory doesn’t stand up to scrutiny since Matt, Mike Heilemann et al were removed from the Technorati Top 100 well before WordPress stopped using Technorati’s results in the Dashboard. I suppose dedicated conspiracy theorists could construe the switch as revenge on WordPress’ part…

What a shame! Think, if you were in the number one spot you might just get more links.

Ah yes, /me banned too

LOL! When I read the title, I thought you got banned.

That’s rather… odd of them. I wonder if it’s retaliatory for WP dumping Technorati in favor of Google in the Dashboard?

“Matt has been unceremoniously banned from the Technorati Top 100 because his links come from the default Wordpress blogroll”
hahahaha…
I would like to be in the “Top 100″…

Gobala Krishnan | December 21st, 2007 @ 9:58 am
John - you’re saying it’s revenge? Hmm, I guess anything’s possible in the blogosphere
Matt - There won’t be enough blogs to fill up technorati if it wasn’t for Wordpress, so you totally rock
MASA | December 22nd, 2007 @ 9:05 am
John, that’s a good strong theory. And I totally think that too.
Khurt L Williams | December 22nd, 2007 @ 10:48 am
I wish my blog was popular enough to get banned!
